Long waiting time melanoma wle and snlb panicking

I have just been diagnosed with melanoma 2a 3.4 deep in my chin, really worried about possibly of it spreading so was shocked to find out under Nottingham it’s a 9-12 month wait! I’m  likely to need a skin graft as well just sooo worried I don’t think I can cope with such a long wait for the next surgery I’ve spend days trying to find out of area hospitals can do it any quicker, if anybody had any ideas if hospitals to try I’d be really grateful x

  • Wow I saw my consultant on Tuesday and it’s been reconfirmed for wle slnb and skin  graft it’s 9 months but if I don’t want the snlb it can be 8 weeks, I’m also braf possitive. I’m under a hospital where they don’t do it there I’ve been ringing round other hospitals as I definitely want the slnb, I want to be proactive if it is in my lymph nodes, it’s such a worrying time
